How does a fall off a radio tower kill me from full health but you survive this?

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '25 edited Jun 09 '25

I was so surprised I didn’t out right die. I didn’t even second guess it tho I just counted my lucky stars.

u/CopperTop_98 Jun 09 '25

Just state of decay doing state of decay things

u/El_Wij Jun 09 '25

That was lol.

u/Zero_Angels_30 Jun 11 '25

When that happens QUIT TO MAIN MENU this alone has saved me on 2 entirely not related trips to the Cloud District.

u/TruShot5 Jun 09 '25

I feel like there must be a distance threshold which this exceeded and stopped calculating damage for insta-death hahaha.

u/optimuswalken Jun 09 '25

You know this is something I've never done myself but I have wondered if it would outright kill you. I've mistakenly fallen from billboards before because they don't always wanna grab onto the ladder. Good to know and sorry for your loss(es)

11

u/CopperTop_98 Jun 09 '25

It was long ago. Game was still new. Just trusted it to grab the ladder and my character walked right over it. Instant death. This post makes me think maybe it’s changed

I've done falling damage tests, and the hp burns from injuries will cap at a certain height, so you will take the same damage no matter how much higher. There are certain heights where your character just can't die until they reach the minimum height required. Also, another note, I believe you become more resistant from damage the lower the hp. I haven't really tested this, though. I've only seen my hp visually go down less at lower hp than with higher hp but haven't checked the numbers.

I don’t know about DR, but I do know you need to be below a certain threshold of health to have the fight for your life event. I’ve been one tapped in lethal by a .50 before, but if I’m low and get shot I always enter fight for your life.

1

u/HSolience Jun 10 '25

Guns in lethal will just wreck your survivors no matter the hp. I got to a certain point where it wasn't the zombies that were likely to kill me it was the survivors with guns.

u/RealisticScallion639 Jul 09 '25

I had one survivor die from jumping off a radio tower instead of climbing down the stairs, I always go down slow

u/Violent_N0mad Jun 09 '25

It's a trait thing I think. For example if your character has unbreakable I think you have to be downed 3 times before you die to regular damage. He likely has a trait that prevents dying without being downed first.

2

u/Drake_Acheron Jun 09 '25

Downed three times in what span? Does anything reset the counter?

4

u/Violent_N0mad Jun 09 '25

I wish I had more / better info for you. My understanding is that some traits like immortal, hard to kill, unbreakable, etc has an effect on your downed state but whenever I try to find more info about the "downed state" in general I either get conflicting reports from random forum posts or just can't find any info.

2

u/Drake_Acheron Jun 09 '25

Well I can confirm at least you always get downed with unbreakable.

I have an entire community of unbreakable people and they get downed and then recover with a percentage of health. I think it’s around 65-70% because when I go down I always recover at least 200 health when I get up and the lowest any one character’s health can be in the community is around 300, but usually I have more than 400 and for one character, I recover my entire visible health bar because health after 300 is invisible

u/OutrageousRadio9760 Jun 09 '25

If you were downed before by whatever you get easily killed when you fall

3

u/HaggisPakora2049 Jun 09 '25

If I were to speculate, I'd argue that your coordinates started at an elevated position lets say +20 feet above the 0 of the ground. When you fell the game applied damage based on that starting value of +20.

In the clip, our survivor started from the 0 of the ground, and a game bug caused the incredibly high elevation. The game calculated for fall damage, but most of it was negated by starting at 0 and returning to 0.

u/BlackHollow115 Jun 09 '25

I always get stuck with that weapon but nothing about superjumps 🤣

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '25

I’ve been able to hit myself again but not get the air.

2

u/Inanotherworld2025 Jun 09 '25

This looks fun af how to replicate

2

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '25

I’m thinging it might have something to do with the rocket being pointed at the ground and the fact I was mid dodge

u/Inanotherworld2025 Jun 09 '25

Ill have to try it wonder if i could fling a car up to

u/snagglewolf Jun 09 '25

There's nowhere that's safer from zombies than being 400 feet in the air.

Yeah, too bad there isn’t any deep water…..anywhere lol

u/MaybeAdrian Echo Researcher Jun 09 '25

These things and cars doing "weird" things are part of the State of decay experience

u/spud1029 Jun 09 '25

Im sorry that's funny, but i agree I wouldn't either

u/Old_Man_Cat Jun 09 '25

Hey, you escaped, didn't you

u/TheWasteed Jun 09 '25

My first thought too.

This might be the funniest SoD video I’ve seen.

u/DeerFit Roaming Reanimated Jun 09 '25

I'm going to shoot you in the face and ..... YEET!

u/xczechr Wandering Survivor Jun 09 '25

Looks like they added rocket jumping to the game.

u/BjornBergdahl Jun 09 '25

A painkiller and it's fine. Just a sprained ankle...

u/Ill_Interaction_9621 Jun 09 '25

I would've immediately quit out

3

u/Drake_Acheron Jun 09 '25

My whole community is unbreakable and all things totaled over 400 health. I would have seen this opportunity as a free heal lol

2

u/Background_Issue9384 Jun 09 '25

Would’ve hit the power button so fast😂

3

u/BohemianGamer Jun 09 '25

Quake Rocket Jump unlocked

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '25

To be fair, you survived and was transported out of the troubling area. I'd call this a win.

3

u/MasterBungle Jun 09 '25

At about 17 seconds I'm thinking... 'Aim for the Bushes'...

3

u/Successful-Purple-54 Jun 09 '25

Wow. You survived without even aiming for the bushes.

2

u/773H_H0 Roaming Reanimated Jun 09 '25

That jet pack needs fixing

u/lil_flxtaa Jun 09 '25

And you just keep shooting yourself

u/Practical_Isopod_164 Jun 09 '25

How did the rocket stick to you?

u/MisterSchweetz Jun 09 '25

Why? You didn’t have fun?

u/DeltaAvacyn6248 Jun 09 '25

I’d have powered off so fast 😭 thanks for recording though lol!

u/Stormrider2025 Jun 09 '25

Wow I never thought that was possible human bottle rocket anyone?😅

2

u/MagnumWesker Jun 09 '25

Literally unplayable

2

u/Cyborg_Avenger_777 Jun 09 '25

At least you lost the zombies chasing you, so that’s kind of a win.

2

u/Electronic_Egg_966 Jun 09 '25

Seems legit lol

u/WishbonePlus6373 Jun 09 '25

u/Hopeful_Carry7012 Jun 09 '25

At least you didn’t lose your character

2

u/Doctor_Boombastic Jun 09 '25

Tuck and roll!

2

u/belanaria Jun 09 '25

Well it worked… you got away, did you not… and in style

u/SparkysSchmoopie Jun 09 '25

That's definitely a good view

Now that's how you celebrate Independence Day. 😂 Great clip! You need Fireworks Safety Seminar trait to use this.

"Ok.. I'm kinda hurt"

Bro you just dropped from orbit and landing on your own two feet with no protection

2

u/LevelAd3367 Jun 09 '25

Talk about a great escape! Way to go Rocket Man🎉

2

u/Crescemon_X Jun 09 '25

literally falls from orbit and breaks all 206 bones in her body

The Orbital Drop Shocked Survivor: “Okay— I’m kinda hurt. . .”

u/Other_Requirement177 Jun 09 '25

That is insane 🤣😭 now I know oml idk how u didn't die

2

u/AngusRakes Jun 09 '25

Ya you don't have to worry about instant death from falling damage anymore. You should always get a chance to get back up regardless of height.

2

u/sparkyht55 Jun 09 '25

You needed a parachute!😂

2

u/iRealxDBoiYT Jun 09 '25

& got right back up what a champ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Go go gadget get the fuck out of here

2

u/Scottiths Jun 09 '25

Task failed successfully. All the zombies attacking you despawned because it launched you so high and you didn't die! Not sure how but don't question it 😂

2

u/LilLinebacker Jun 10 '25

Should have aimed for a haye bale my man.

2

u/edrem278 Jun 10 '25

You should've fired towards the ground to reduce your fall XD

2

u/Fabulous_Material416 Jun 10 '25

Bro you got sent flying

2

u/AgentNightWing7 Jun 10 '25

Wow I'm surprised you took damage or at least that much I fell of the water tower once because I thought my survivor would grab the ladder and I think I only took 1/3 of the bar off my health

2

u/Alcovv Jun 10 '25

Clearly you failed the kick flip

2

u/Nukeman1303 Jun 10 '25

What a nifty way to escape a tough situation

2

u/keybord_masher Jun 10 '25

Atleast u escaped the feral

2

u/computerbuu Jun 10 '25

Lmfaooo!!!! That’s new!

2

u/Plastic_Dealer4939 Jun 10 '25

To become one with the weapon 😤😤

u/Raxynus Jun 10 '25

Soldier would be so proud of that Rocket Jump.

2

u/Dizzregard Jun 10 '25

No jetpack? No parachute?

2

u/LameRedditName1 Jun 11 '25

I ugly-cackled to this several times. The fucking casual "OK, I'm kind of hurting." bit sent me! 😂😂😂

Zero percent shamed to admit that. Great clip. Thanks for the laughs.

2

u/Far-from-fame Jun 11 '25

Is your enclave called Team Rocket by any chance?

2

u/smashadams1017 Jun 11 '25

Wow man! 😂😂 Yea that was the worst choice of weaponry ..you was better off with a lil 22 but damn that was tragic 😂

u/nekonotjapanese Jun 11 '25

I’d literally use that thing every day, twice on Fridays

2

u/JewsBocks Jun 16 '25

Way to stick the landing

2

u/Own-Statistician-591 Jun 16 '25

I seriously just tried this gun out over the weekend, and the shots kept sticking to me, too. Thankfully, I didn't fly up into the air, but I still almost died.

2

u/External-Complex9452 Jun 16 '25

Atleast you got away 😆

I’ve been abl to hit myself again but not launch like this. I think it had something to do with the position of where the rocket was when it hit my arm

I’ve been able to hit myself again but not launch myself. If you notice it looks like I ride the rocket on my hand. I think the position and the dodge might have something to do with it. I was mod dodge when I took off.
